Art & Inspiration ....::Early Friday Art Show::......

Thanks Brett, glad ya liked 'em. I hope you got a shot of you 2 on the Salt wearing them.

Spray sealed 'em... they just sucked it in (actually they went all "fuzzy" and I had to sand them down)
2 coats of brushed-on clear... they laughed at me.
2 coats of spar varnish did the trick... probably could've used a 3rd, but those things can stop falling bricks now. Even after sanding between coats it was like painting on the surface of the moon.

 

Good start to the show. I was inspired this week to put a pen and ink together this week, only with markers. It's not a Pacheco piece but fun to do. Now only if I new how to do it in photoshop.
Pacheco really nice stuff.
Von Franco's stuff is nice too.
JimmyB good work.
Robschwager as always nice cyanos.
Ubermustang almost looks like a photo.

 

Fowler5 - I dig it!

 

Pacheco...excellent as always
Robschwager...those are killer as usual...would love to print those on some tee shirts for you
Those show cards for Defiance Speed shop are nice...love those old printing presses and the showcard printing

 

These are from my cell phone camera....been playing recently

 

GREAT SHOW GUYS. WHAT A START!
Ruben, you got the STUFF!

 

To hell with them! Theres a difference between what you do, and the average jo-shmo (me) and thats SKILL and ARTISTIC VISION

Good show guys, Ruben, awesome!

Great stuff again this week guys; got nothing new to show so here's a repost:

 

Hey everyone! Great show this week. Pacheco, Flyingpolock, Dutch, Janne, killer stuff guys! Mrs V.F.- thanks for posting the hubbys work. Super stuff as usual.
Robschwager- very nice. Ubermustang- all I can say is WOW!

Here's my contribution for the week, an Art Deco Bus from Hell. Twin Allison V-12 and all. Hope you all enjoy!

 

Beautiful rendering Todd. Billet and all.

 

AWSOME!!! ...and the driver... he's, uh... he's texting someone, right?

 

Thanks Jigger and polock! Um.....considering the era, um, it's an old camera......landscape photography....yeah, that's it! Northern exposure!!!

 

Nothing new but how about a medley of custom pieces for other HAMB members. A lot of these have not been posted here before.

 

At least they are waterproof now.

Current repops are made with white glue.
The kind that dissolves in water.
So they start to self destruct when the glue fails.

 

Just found some of the ol' Man's art done back in the day when he was between 18/19 yrs....

He would have gotten a kick at having it posted ...

 

Pacheco.....have you ever thought about doing one of a '58 Chevy Fleetside? Cause if you did, I'd have to hang it on my wall. Or use it as wallpaper on my PC.

 

Is that bus driver taking a leak in the bushes?

 

Ruben,

You're killin' me man, Just killin' me.

Doc.

 

Todd - cool rendering.
Hidden awesome to see your work!
Buick59 - I will PM you to see what I can do.
Ger - always cool to see your stuff!

 

Here's the colour version of what I posted last week...

Ruben...killer work dude.

 

meteor - that is bad ass in color!

 

Wood!
The fine furniture look comes to one of the prettiest
automotive forms ever! The 1936 Ford.

Fenderless, glossy black, and white ash cover
the rear quarters of this sedan delivery version.

My kids tease me for liking wagons
but I might change their minds with this one!

 

Here is one last shot for this weeks show. Shot htis in Joliet last week. It's a real survivor car from back in the heyday. I've never seen a 58 gasser, it was TITS!!!

 

Nice pic, reminds me of a 3 legged dog that used to chase my school bus as a kid.

 

My sentiments, exactly!!! Damn, Ruben...!!!

 

Yeah, lotsa bears in the area. The bus driver's markin' his territory!
